Warp text into a shape on Illustrator on iPad?

Hi, I'm very new to Illustrator and I only have it on the iPad. I am trying to get words into the shape of mountains. Every tutorial I have seen is on the desktop, and that does not help me because I cannot use those shortcuts. I think the part I am getting stuck at is the Envelope Distort part, because I haven't found it yet on the iPad. Any help?

    The "Warp Tools" available in the desktop version are needed in the iPad application. I have read that canned reply that it's in the works for almost two years now. Being able to go to a clients office with an iPad and make spontanious adjustments to their project would be a huge advantage. Setting up a laptop and perifials to do the same is akward for all parties involved. The iPad version of Illustrator and Photoshop still lag woefully behind the competition after years of continued R&D. It's very frusterating. I have used Adobe products since Photoshop Ver. 3 and thought the migration to the iPad would be fabulous. Years later we still wait....and wait...for it to come up to speed with it's competition. Were it not for over thirty years of vested use of Adobe products and the teribites of files saved one would contemplate using the competitions applications for the iPad.

     

    Here's hoping 2022 is the year that Adobe pulls it together.

          Hi there,

           

          Thanks for reaching out. This feature is not available in Illustrator on the iPad yet. However, we're working on it. I'd request that if you could take out a moment and post this as a feature request here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/. This way, you will keep getting all the updates related to this feature & other users can also upvote, which would help us prioritize. 

           

          In the meanwhile, the document from iPad syncs automatically to the desktop, so you can use the desktop Ai to use these features.

           

          Regards,

          Srishti
